As an aside, I would recommend trying to work on his bonding with your family. It's probably not a big deal now because o fhis age, but if he goes through a bigger fear period or starts maturing there might be problems down the road.

Have them do some training or take over some duties for his care so he also bonds with them. I think it will be more fun for everyone!
